The Rookie Spy Games
The crew unite to protect Bailey who returns to Los Angeles
to try to trap the mercenaries who are now out to eliminate her after she
simply knocked on an unmarked door at the Pentagon. It’s the LAPD’s finest vs high caliber spies
in an intense episode.
Paradise Final Countdown
In the penultimate episode for season two, Gabriela appears
to take down Jane, while Jeremy and cohorts start damaging the oxygen tanks for
the city so the doors will be forced open and people can “choose” life in the
bunker or the surface. Does Jeremy even
know at this point there is a massive crowd outside wanting to get in? I can’t recall.
The Council, seemingly abandoned by Samantha, decides to
lock down the bunker against the hordes outside.
Samantha, after meeting Link whose real name is Dylan and
who shares her dead son’s date of birth, floats way, way down to a bunker level
that contains a room where she greets Alex.
As we see in an early scene with the President getting a
bunker tour, the twin events of locking down the bunker and the automatic
openings of doors to the outside if oxygen levels get too low together spell
disaster. A disaster we see playing out
as the episode ends.
Tomorrow (3/30) the finale airs, and we see if there’s some
sort of time travel/time mucking about taking place. We see if Alex is a computer or the still
living scientist Alex, kept in some tank or hooked up to wires running
everything, although she was thought to be dead in an earlier episode. Because Samantha puts on what looks like a
radiation protection coat as she steps into the room, I’m guessing person not
computer.
High Potential Turn, Up the Heat
Morgan has links from the past to street artists, aka graffiti
artists, one of whom is killed and left hanging from the side of a very unusually
structured building.
Will Trent I Hear It
Now, I Was Good
Will recovers from his spider bites supported by Angie’s
friendship. We learn Ulster’s daughter
Adelaide was treated horribly by her mother in ways that even shock the memory
of James Ulster who follows Will around.
In a truly weird scene, Will channels Ulster when talking to
an Ulster acolyte, scaring and thrilling the acolyte.
Doc Orientation
On the way to Katie’s college orientation, Amy and Michael
and Katie stop at a campground Amy doesn’t remember, but the other two want to
visit just briefly. Off the trail quite
a bit, they come upon a cabin with a young man unconscious and bleeding. They bring him inside to try to warm him up
while Katie tries to get back to the car and in range of a call for help. They don’t figure out till almost too late he
wasn’t alone and there’s an injured girl out in the woods alone.
There are some super sweet scenes of Amy and Michael when
they were Katie’s age and had just met.
Best Medicine Mind
Your Own Buboes
What seems like a flu outbreak might really be the plague
visiting Port Wenn. A petting zoo owner
with no scruples has wild animals from other countries who may be carriers of
the plague that infests the doctors office and of course the Salty Breeze is on
lockdown as well because a man is there who bought a fox from the petting zoo
lady is the source of the plague.
The Pitt 6:00pm
The night shift is starting to arrive and get up to speed on
working analog. It’s possible the
computers may come back up now that another hospital has paid their ransom. Everyone is cracking from the tension of the
day as more Fourth of July related injuries start to come in. Dana and Robbie have a big confrontation.
With three more episodes, what happens next? Another large event that keeps everyone at
work, or people stay and do their charting?
Robbie leaves on his trip and we see three episodes of the night shift?
Interesting.
School Spirits Seasons 2 and 3
I just love this show, and am glad it just got a season four
announcement. It remains a good
mystery/supernatural horror lite series. They have new takes on the afterlife each
season. Great characters.
Jo Nesbo’s Detective Hole
New to Netflix, this is a dramatization of Nesbo’s fifth
Harry Hole book The Devil’s Star. I’ve
watched the first three episodes. My
book group last month read The Killing Moon, most recent in the series, with
Harry in a somewhat different place in his career, yet also he’s the same
flawed man.
There’s just something about the Harry’s character. He’s brilliant, can be funny, most of his colleagues
like and admire him, yet they can’t tolerate his drinking problem which in the
Devil’s Star has him deep in it’s grips.
You know he can come out of his stupor, he often goes cold turkey, you
can’t help rooting for him, even when he lets everyone down.
The story is intense and violent, and there’s a serial killer, neither of which
I can usually stand, but the storytelling and characters and music just pull
you in.
